  • sugru | Hack Things Better
    Extremely clever scientists have been working on sugru for over 5 years to give it as many great physical properties as possible, so it can be as versatile and useful as possible for you. sugru is like modeling clay when you take it from its pack. Once it's exposed to air, it cures to a tough flexible silicone overnight using the moisture in the air. Working time = 30 mins. Cure time = 24hrs (3-5mm deep)

    At the risk of losing my “street cred” – there isn’t much that is more purely summer than an evening picnic and a concert on the lawn. The Huntington doesn’t actually *allow* food on the grounds, with the exception of 4 member events during the summer, so there was a rarity to it, as well. Today is El Capitain and a birthday party… Hopefully there will also be swimming, since we’ve been solidly in the triple digits for the last several days.

  • How to Change the World: The Zen of Business Plans
    In my day job, I not only hear a lot of PowerPoint pitches, but I also read a lot of business plans. The PowerPoint pitches explain my Ménière's disease, but the business plans explain my recent need for reading glasses. One of my goals for blogging is to reduce the external factors that are causing the degradation of my body, so this entry's topic is the zen of business plans.
